WARDOGS Season 3 Launch Date Announced Alongside 185,000 Bans and a New Map

WARDOGS Season 3 will launch on November 12, 2026, with a new map, improved anti-cheat measures and an alternative way to unlock equipment.

WARDOGS has gone from a huge success to receiving mixed player feedback in recent months. Players responded particularly negatively to the changes in Season 2. Developer Bulkhead plans to address the situation and has moved the launch of Season 3 to an earlier date. On November 12, the game will add Sabatulo, a map focused on urban combat and close-range battles.

In a new video, the developers acknowledged that Season 3 will not solve every problem, but said it will bring several important changes. One is Multi-track Unlocks, a system that will let players unlock equipment through different progression paths without leveling up roles they do not find interesting. For example, players can now earn .308 armor-piercing rounds by reaching pilot level 40, instead of the previous requirement of level 140.

The game will also get restricted servers with preset selections of weapons, ammunition, armor and vehicles. Bulkhead is still working out the details and hopes to narrow the gap in equipment power while preserving large-scale battles.

The studio will also step up its fight against cheaters, with 185,000 players set to be banned.
